The Consulate General has taken measures such as increasing manpower, optimizing processes, accelerating approval and issuance, and increasing number issuance to meet the demand as much as possible.

If you do not need to urgently travel to China in the near future, it is recommended to avoid the current peak of visa application and arrange the application time reasonably. 02

On June 26, 2023, the Chinese government's Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Affairs, Liu Xiaoming, held consultations with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Rudenko in Beijing, and the two sides exchanged in-depth views on the Korean Peninsula issue. Both sides believe that since the 70 year ceasefire in the Korean War, the Korean Peninsula has not yet achieved a transition to a ceasefire mechanism, and has not been able to balance the concerns of all parties, especially the reasonable security concerns of the North Korean side. This is the root cause and crux of the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula. Both sides emphasize that maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula, achieving denuclearization of the peninsula, and establishing a peace mechanism on the peninsula are in line with the common interests of the region and the international community. We hope that all parties will uphold a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept, follow the "dual track" approach and the principle of phased synchronization, and solve their respective concerns through meaningful dialogue and balance, in order to achieve long-term peace and security on the peninsula as soon as possible. Both parties stated that China

According to Kyodo News Agency, an insider revealed on the 25th that the Japanese government has told the ruling party that although Japan has strict regulations on weapon exports, exporting non combat vehicles and ships equipped with lethal weapons does not violate the law. At 01:23, Kyodo News quoted sources as saying that the Japanese government's examples of such products include Japanese Self Defense Force reconnaissance vehicles equipped with automatic guns and minesweepers. Sources quoted the Japanese government as saying that Japan can export equipment to countries with security cooperation, as long as these equipment are used for rescue, transportation, and surveillance purposes

However, the European Medical Products Administration recently issued a notice stating that GLP-1 drugs, including products such as Wegovy, are at risk of developing thyroid cancer. Weight loss drugs are accused of carcinogenic risks, and pharmaceutical giants' stock prices have fallen in response. GLP-1 is a major

On June 25th, the Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan published an article titled "The Decline in Diplomatic Ability Caused by American Political Tears" by American political scientist Francis Fukuyama. The recent power struggle between the United States and China has spread to the South Pacific region. China signed a security agreement with the Solomon Islands last year, which raised concerns about China's acquisition of military bases in the country. In order to counter this, the United States signed a bilateral defense cooperation agreement with Papua New Guinea in late May this year. At first, Biden planned to visit Papua New Guinea on his way back after attending the G7 summit in Hiroshima, but due to the US debt crisis, he had to hurry back to his home country to negotiate with Republican House Speaker McCarthy. Although both parties ultimately reached an agreement at the end of May, avoiding a government debt default, this incident truly reflects

In Beijing, the mode of professional title evaluation is changing. In the past, the hard indicators of English, computer science, and academic papers in professional title evaluation have limited the development of talents. In 2018, Beijing implemented the requirements of the central government's deepening of the reform of the professional title system and began to establish classification evaluation standards and mechanisms that meet the characteristics of different talents.

"Ji Thirteen" was originally named Ji Xiaohua, and he successively founded a number of popular science products such as the Science Squirrel Club and Guoke Net
Fentanyl, it's fentanyl again. In recent years, this once unfamiliar drug name has become no longer unfamiliar, due to the United States repeatedly accusing China of inadequate control over the abuse of fentanyl in its domestic market. Americans are becoming increasingly addicted to fentanyl, and the US government is playing the same "fentanyl card". The US Department of Justice recently announced the prosecution of Chinese companies and citizens on suspicion of producing and selling fentanyl chemical precursors. PART.01 First check "is it" and then ask "why". Is it true that China is responsible for the United States persistently blaming China for the fentanyl issue? Of course not. China has been deeply affected by opium in the past and has always implemented strict drug control measures. Moreover, in a humanitarian spirit, China has been doing its best to help the US address and resolve the fentanyl issue. In May 2019, the Chinese side conducted a comprehensive investigation in China

The author of the article is Hawar Abbas Sandu, a researcher of Pakistan's "the Belt and Road" initiative and the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. The article is compiled as follows: Chinese civilization has practiced time and time again on how to respond to new challenges. Today, a rising China has established a multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the CPC. Those countries that accuse China of implementing a one party system are lagging behind China in terms of economy, technology, and even tourism, but their related propaganda is endless. The CPC is in power with the support of eight democratic parties. These democratic parties include the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Nationalist Party, the Chinese Democratic League, the Chinese Democratic Founding Association, and the Chinese Democratic Promotion
This month, Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan began trial operation of the nuclear contaminated water discharge equipment at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. According to Japanese sources, the tritium containing wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will be officially discharged into the sea this summer, which has sparked widespread questioning and strong opposition from the international community.

Tianjin, June 26th, Xinhua News Agency - Question: "Eliminating Risks"? Foreign executives oppose "illusory concerns". Recently, Xinhua News Agency reporter Song Rui replaced "decoupling" with "de risk", becoming a new tone for some Western politicians to discuss China policies. Like their attitude towards decoupling, many foreign executives also hold a negative stance on the so-called "de risk" approach, believing that China is an "opportunity" rather than a "risk" and calling it a "illusory concern". "China is an opportunity for me. China is my second hometown," said Shen Yinzhi from South Korea. From studying abroad in China in 1993, to settling in Tianjin in 2002 and establishing Aitemei Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., engaged in the production and sales of water treatment equipment and related accessories, Shen Yinzhi has been expanding his business in the vast opportunities provided by the Chinese market.

According to a report by Black Star News on June 25th, gun violence in the United States has become out of control. The US government promotes violence abroad and advocates violence domestically, and all wars seem to be America's new "pastime". It's strange that a country doing such evil things in another country wants to know why its children would shoot at schools and classmates, and why NBA champions and fans would celebrate with large-scale shootings. According to the latest data from the Gun Violence Archive website, as of June 25th local time, there have been 326 large-scale shooting incidents in the United States this year, with over 20000 deaths due to various gun related incidents. The promotion of violence has already had an impact
According to the Guardian website on June 22nd, for a long time in the United States, pregnancy has been at a higher risk than abortion. Approximately 650-750 women die during pregnancy in the United States each year, making it the country with the highest maternal mortality rate among industrialized countries. Relatively speaking, there are very few women who die from abortion or suffer from complications. Therefore, when the Roe v. Wade case in the United States was overturned last year, people were concerned that pregnancy related deaths and complications would surge, especially among women of color. According to the analysis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, in 2021, African American women are 2.6 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women. Structural racism, inadequate coverage of medical assistance programs, and failure to invest reasonably in maternal health are all contributing factors
The person in charge of the Meida Department of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the US's lawsuit against Chinese companies on the grounds of involving fentanyl issues. A reporter asked: Recently, the US has announced the prosecution of some Chinese companies on the grounds of involving fentanyl. What is China's comment on this? Answer: China has always strictly enforced drug control and, in a humanitarian spirit, has taken the lead in categorizing and controlling fentanyl substances globally, playing an important role in preventing the illegal production, trafficking, and abuse of fentanyl. The US's use of "fishing law enforcement" to illegally obtain so-called "evidence" and sue Chinese companies is a typical unilateral bullying behavior. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns this, and will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
